There is a double standard in how religious people treat faith vs doubt

Religious belief is often accepted without question when based on personal feelings, those converting are encouraged by people of that religion to “trust their hearts” and “follow the light” and accept faith as truth.

And when stories of that sort are shared it gets emotional with the believers who would right away consider it validation or confirmation that their own religion is true.

However when someone leaves a religion, those same feelings are no longer considered valid. Instead, ex religious folks are expected to provide logical arguments and defend their decision.

Basically saying that doubt requires more justification than belief.
